Actions commited

Action 1.1

Create a working group/Department responsible for coordinating sustainable and healthy food policies within local government, ensuring transversal cooperation between at least the following municipal departments: economic development, health, environment, education, security, social rights and equality, in order to strengthen the agro-ecological transition, provide multilevel policy coherence, whilst ensuring urban/rural partnership.

Action 2.2

Run campaigns to raise public awareness and to commit residents to the Planetary Health Diet or a similar diet based on locally produced, sustainable and healthy food, rich in plant-based foods (fruit, vegetables, cereals, legumes and nuts), with a reduced consumption of meat and dairy and ultra-processed food high in fat, sugar and salt.

Action 2.5

Ban or limit advertisement on unhealthy foods and also ban or limit exposure to unhealthy foods (i.e. healthy food environments around schools).

Action 5.3

Produce updated maps and online directories of local agro-ecological food supply chain actors, including producers, processing units and distribution points.

Action 6.1

Organise communication campaigns to encourage consumers to change their habits in order to prevent food loss and waste.

Action 6.3

Implement distinct food waste collection systems in hotels, restaurants, the catering sector, schools, hospitals and households, by introducing the necessary logistical developments. Ensure clear information and specific infrastructure (bins, compostable bags, etc.), particularly at the early stages of implementation in order to facilitate the adoption of the scheme.

Action 6.4

Support the development of composting systems (to obtain organic fertiliser), systems that transform urban food waste into animal feed, and/or energy recovery plants (through which biogas and biomethane can be obtained).
